actually, i will give more specific crits... the scans always seem to be resized way to big. They are blurry and messy.. the text seems to be thrown in as an afterthought.. honestly, what does this have to do with pride? it sure doesn't make me think "wow, this looks like the graphical representation of pride!"

and to ramble a bit more on.

your so called photomanipulation falls to the "whatever seen it 10000 times back in '96" cathegory. it has nothing to it. you even fucked up the nin logo and made it look less than good.

again i say it, spitfire's photo manipulation crap looks alot better and i almost like it, he does something that looks a bit different and puts more work on it than just overlaying photos and changing the layer blending modes.

yours are far from that.

"I'd advise you to do the same. Your flames are tiring, something we've all seen 200 times before, and... well, basically, they suck." flames? in refer to attacks on the forum or drawings?

too bad in both of those you lose.

too bad your "art" is utterly worthless to us who happen to look at things like...

-how it was made
-what it is about
-what does it look like
-what kind of message it tries to desperately give to no avail it seems
-is it even one fucking bit original
- and so forth

now most of your pieces are (in the same order as in the above list)
-bunch of photorape in 5 minutes
-"fuck shit motherfucker" -wannabe whatevertypography on top of raped photos
-messy pile of shit that could be done in 10 minutes except it'd take time to re-create them since most likely most of the stuff is random results from the filter rape phase
-the message? "i can't do anythjng else so i put together 20 photorapes per day and call it deep art and refuse to realize maybe even once i should listen to someone else"
-original? i've yet to see something original from you that hasn't been done about 4 years ago when these things started appearing more and more
-fuck you too, i hold you in no value. <- just a response to his words, just in case mentioning since there are alot of americans on this board.

edit, and in case you haven't noticed yet, yes i have a problem with this kind of "art".

Oh god, this again. Its not the first time you 2 get into an argument, how about you just ignore each other ? Or maybe settle this somewhere else than a digital art forum where everyone comes to discuss art, not to send each other to hell.
I have nothing against any of you 2, but shit, you 2 are acting like kids.

I think I can safely speak for everyone else who is currently reading this, when I say: Huh?

Both yourself and Spitfire keep bringing the word "filter" into this discussion - why? No filters were used.

If you could bring up some reasonable, valid arguments as to why I should listen to you, please do so. Your behavior does nothing but make me laugh.

Maybe you should take your own advice, and for once listen to me; People have different opinions on art. Mine and yours obviously differ quite a bit. You will accomplish nothing by "yelling" at me in this fashion. At all.

I'm sorry that I don't draw phallic symbols such as your own (i.e. the famous CCCP penis rocket, etc.). I bet they're far more original than my work.

I see. Excuse me, but what on earth are you talking about here?

I'm really sorry. However, I am not going to stop making these kind of wallpapers. Boo-hoo.

I didn't ask him to come into every thread I make and start flaming me. In fact, I asked him to ignore my threads completely. As did Dhabih. Obviously he doesn't respect the owner of this forum enough to stop doing this.

I'm gonna start by saying that I don't particularly like the piece and can't really understand it.

But I don't think that makes the work any less valid.

Faust, I don't agree with your views on photo manupulation. If done well, it's still art. Dave McKean has raised it to high art.

You're entitled to your opinions and I think it's fine with all of us if you don't like SplitSoul's work (or even SplitSoul). But I don't think that entitles you to go raging on like you've done on a public discussion forum. It's just not what I came here for.
